Tips on Packing Smart (Part 2)


Pack it according to your bag:
Rolling and folding are expert-packer methods whilst bundling is for advanced travelers.
Rolling is great for unstructured bags, for stretchy knit fabrics that are unlikely to wrinkle, including T-shirts, workout pants, light sweaters, and jersey dresses, as well as jeans.
To roll a:
• Pair of pants, fold pants in half lengthwise so that the back pockets face outward. Roll tightly from the cuffs to the waistband

• Straight skirt or dress, first fold each sleeve backward then fold the entire garment in half lengthwise. Roll from the bottom hem up.

• Winter down jacket, squeeze it, then roll it the same way you would a top, squeezing as much air out of it as possible then secure tightly with string or large rubber bands to prevent it from coming undone. Slip it into a pillowcase and you’ve even got a germ-free headrest for the plane
Folding is great for structured suitcases; wrinkle-prone fabrics, such as linen, rayon, silk and tailored garments (dress shirts, woven skirts, trousers, jackets) and thick sweaters.
To fold a:
• Dress shirt, lay it buttoned-up, face down and flat. Center a magazine below the collar. Fold in the right side of the shirt, using the magazine’s edge as a guide. Take the arm and position it straight down, parallel to the shirt’s body. Repeat on the opposite side. Fold the bottom of the shirt so that the hem touches the shoulders. Slide out the magazine from the top. 

• Pair of dress pants, fold along the center creases or the side seams so that the legs stack on top of each other. Fold in half so that the waist touches the hem. Fold in half again Full skirt or dress, fold it in half lengthwise so that the side seams line up. Fold the angled edge inward to form a rectangle. Fold the garment in half horizontally or, if it’s on the longer side, in thirds. Then pack it on top of everything else in the suitcase
Bundling is great for structured suitcase; (doesn’t work so well with weekenders or duffel) and a mix of unstructured and tailored clothing.
To bundle:
• Layer all your clothes around a core object, like an organizer pouch, so there are no hard creases

• Each garment should be buttoned or zipped and placed face-up (face-down for jackets).
•Place tailored garments that wrinkle easily on the outside of the bundle, cushioned by both the other clothes and the core Add pieces that are less likely to wrinkle (near the core). Lay short dresses and tops vertically, alternating north and south, and long dresses and bottoms horizontally, alternating east and west. (sequence from the outer layer in: jackets, short dresses, long-sleeve shirts, short-sleeve shirts, pants, long dresses, skirts, sweaters, knits, and shorts Starting from the top of the pile, wrap each garment around the core
